GoRV Crusader Caravans Gladiator Review
Check out the Crusader Caravans Gladiator review from GoRV!
For those who like to travel in comfort and style.
A tough little unit. All you need to get off the beaten track. It packs a powerful punch for its compact size.
Comes standard with a lot of the features you would find in a high-end caravan, but at a cheaper price.
You get a toilet, shower, kitchen, fridge, beds, TV, microwave and so much more…
It’s beautifully crafted from industry leading composite material so its strong and weather resistant. Stay safe, dry and comfortable in any conditions.
Flexible bedding means you can easily make up a queen sized bed or two single beds on the spot.
Built for off-road, the Gladiator comes with independent suspension and a six-inch chassis. It can handle the more rugged terrain. It comes well equipped for free camping with dual solar, work lights, and a grey water tank.
